sushdmehta,
When you say 'Birth of the child should be registered with HCI within a year of birth and you will need to provide evidence that the child has not acquired British nationality.'. After that (only registering birth with HCI and not take Indian Paasport), if I apply for British Passport for my kid, do my kid has to still wait for 18 years to obtain the Indian Citizenship?
Alternatively, from
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=119681 I know there is some process to apply for Indian Passport and then apply for right of Abode/entitlement? I didn't understand once I get this righ of Abode, do we need to then apply for ILR on Indian Passport for my kid? Please share your thoughts.
